    It’s like being shown a list of Gacy, Bundy, Dahmer, Chikatilo, Kroll, DeAngelo, Ramirez and Gein, and asking which one you’d rather be raped and murdered by. Only worse.

    Carmen Pedrosa, a Filipino journalist who had to go into exile in London in the 1970s after writing a critical book about Imelda Marcos "The Untold Story of Imelda Marcos", has died, aged around 80. I also used to be a good friend of her son, and spent New Year 1988/89 at their house in Connaught Street in London. https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/06/09/news/veteran-journalist-carmen-pedrosa-80/1846743 [I only just realised it is the same family, as Pedrosa is a common name]

    His speech was so utterly devoid of contrition, humanity and consideration of anyone but himself. And he has the gall to fudge together a new cabinet of unskilled no-marks and shamble on for the next couple of months. There are no abusive terms fit for this disgusting monster. And make no mistake, his eventual successor will very much be a Johnson Tory, not a traditional one - they’ve all been ousted. The fish rots from the head down, and by this stage the fish is utterly putrid beyond recognition. Those around him are similar deceitful, crypto-fascist, self-serving, immoral, probity-devoid goons from the same Brexity cult. The Conservative party will take a long time to detoxify and regenerate, and until it has, nobody within it should be anywhere near a position of power.

    Oh this doesn't look good Last year my wife put all her vinyl Mike Nesmith albums on ebay and in the past week I have put about a dozen volumes of Yu-gi-oh! original magnas on ebay Now do I have Norman Tebbit's autobiography?

    If the Tories have got any sense they'll elect a leader who has no connection to Johnson or his government. I'm not sure how many that leaves, but there must be one or two backbenchers still untainted. If they do go this route that rules out all those names you mention plus Gove, Braverman Dorries etc. Unlikely they'll show any sense though...

    This is the difficult bit: There are going to be so many hats going into the ring but in getting to a victory for each one will require a balancing act to get through the two stages I think Liz Truss must be favourite because she has seemed to come through this shambles unscathed but it is so obvious she wants the job (even though the evidence is that it is beyond her capabilities) Tom Tugendhadt & Tobias Ellwood will slug it out for the One Nation side of the vote but considering the 2019 intake are almost all pro-brexiteers they might struggle to get on the ballot that goes to the Tory Members. They might do better with the MPs who would face a challenge from the LDs at the next election. Jeremy Hunt is a possibility and he came close in 2019 and I would not rule out Michael Gove but he really does come across as a double-crossing coke headed waste of flesh which even his friends (if he had any) would struggle to contradict. Sunak, Patel, Zadhawi or Javid might get on the final ballot but will they appeal to the blue rinse walking corpses that are the Tory Membership?

    Ironic that Robin Day's famous line was about Nott being a "here today and, if I may say so, gone tomorrow politician", and yet Day and most of Nott's contemporaries are long gone, while Nott has nott gone, in fact he is still here.

    You beat me to it by ten minutes. Just go through the "Wilf" tag on Twitter over the next week and you'll see pictures and videos because Doctor Who fans will get that shot.
